Announcing the Faculty Inclusive Teaching Survey (FITS) Guidebook

published May 12, 2026 11:30am

We are excited to offer two professional development opportunities coming up this summer to share the Faculty Inclusive Teaching Survey (FITS) Guidebook, funded by the National Science Foundation (no.2417161). The FITS Guidebook grew out of a close collaboration between the Inclusive STEM Teaching Project (ISTP) and the FITS Guidebook Project, together advancing research‑informed, practical support for inclusive teaching in higher education. Using data collected through ISTP, the FITS Guidebook Project conducted additional analyses and integrated interpretations of mixed‑methods evidence. The Guidebook includes a new practical framework, the Inclusive Teaching Journey, to support sustained reflective development in inclusive teaching. The Guidebook also shares the validated surveys and practice‑focused resources that faculty developers and instructors can use to strengthen inclusive teaching professional development in higher education.

Webinar - The purpose of this hour-long webinar is to share and synthesize research results from the Inclusive STEM Teaching Project (ISTP) into a practical, integrated FITS Guidebook that contains validated scales, resources, and recommendations to create reflective and inclusive practitioners who embrace ongoing growth and development.

Workshop - You will learn how to utilize the FITS Guidebook to support your development as an iterative, reflective, and inclusive instructor and/or faculty developer by (1) engaging in deep, reflective prompts and peer-peer learning focused on ISTP research results; (2) examining the lived experiences of your learners (e.g., students, faculty members) and campus constituents that impact and influence the development of inclusive instructors; and (3) working to advance an inclusive teaching action plan.
